Press Calculate after the entries are in.

What this data storage conversion is for

Use this page when a measurement is written in kilobits and the next step needs megabits. The number stays blank until you press Calculate, so a half-typed entry is never mistaken for the answer.

The factor

1 kilobit = 0.001 megabits. Storage on this page uses decimal prefixes: 1 kilobyte = 1,000 bytes, and 1 byte = 8 bits. A binary kibibyte is 1,024 bytes, which is a different unit.

A worked example

10 kilobits are 0.01 megabits. Multiply the result by the reverse factor if you want the original number back.

How to check it

Write the factor down, do the multiply on paper, and compare it with the result card. If you change a sentence on this page, edit the HTML file and reload. The form and this note live in the same file.

The reverse conversion is megabits to kilobits. A nearby pair in the same units is kilobits to kilobytes. When the converted number is the input to a job, continue with the download time.
